N-Hydroxyphthalimide → N-Benzyloxyphthalimide

Participants

Reaction Steps

When the bridging group n is =NOCH2 --, an appropriately substituted or unsubstituted phenylmethyl chloride, for example, 3-trifluoromethylphenylmethyl chloride, is reacted under basic conditions with N-hydroxyphthalimide in dimethyl sulfoxide, yielding the corresponding N-(phenylmethoxy)phthalimide. The so-prepared phthalimide is in turn reacted with hydrazine monohydrate in ethanol, affording an O-(phenylmethyl)hydroxylamine, for example, O-(3-trifluorophenylmethyl)hydroxylamine. The O-(phenylmethyl)hydroxylamine is then reacted with 2,4-di[(1,1-dimethylethyl)carbonylamino]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-6-quinazolinone, as described above, yielding the targeted 2,4-diamino-6-phenylmethoxyimino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Example 13 provides a detailed description of how this reaction is conducted.
